Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between NT-proBNP, galactin-3 and aldosterone variables in endurance skiers after endurance skiing in height.
Method: Twenty four elite endurance skiers (age: 25 years; body fat: 14%) were divided into two groups (Experimental, Control). The skiing program included a skiing route of 8.5 km, a mean time of 65 minutes, and an average intensity of 70-90% of the maximum oxygen consumption. The NT-proBNP values ​​were evaluated by ELISA. A week after skiing, a ride on a treadmill was done with a slope and distance and a similar time with the ski resort. To examine the relationship between the variables studied, Pearson correlation coefficient was used at a significant level of 5% using SPSS version 22 software.
Results: : The results showed that only galatin-3 with NT-ProBNP and NT-ProBNP with aldosterone showed significant correlation in height (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Increasing physiological pressure on the heart caused by exposure to hypoxia and dehydration may lead to changes in the aldosterone and galactin-3 hormone as a fibrotic cell marker.
